Obituary—Leonard Higgs

We regret to hear of the untimely death of Leonard "Sam" Higgs in a yachting accident. Sam, who was at Rongatai College from 1937 to 1943 and a prefect in his last year there, was a good all-round sportsman. A keen hockey player, he was captain of the Rongatai XI and later played for the VUC 1st XI He was interested in yachting, and took his part in athletics chiefly at sprinting and hurdling. In 1944 he started a Science course at VUC. Sam was a keen musician, playing the violin in last year's Extrav, and was a leader of the college orchestra. He had many friends and his death is a great loss to the college.
